is that true for all skinks?
Mikhaila wants a blue tongued skink

No, not for all. I exaggerated a bit and I was comparing them mainly to the lacertids I've come in contact with. There are skinks that have adapted to live in every layer, from the soil to the tree tops. I've never kept blue-tongued skinks, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't apply to them. Not that a skink that size could even be given the chance to burrow in a normal terrarium.

Made an unscheduled midnight herping trip just around the corner. Saw a strangely familiar silhouette by my car, so I ran inside and grabbed my camera.









Bufo bufo, Common (European) toad.

I love Bufo bufo. It's one of my favourite creatures of all. I have them on my allotment, and it always makes my day when I see one ambling around. Bless! Nice pictures by the way, Stefan (deja vu...again!)

I never saw a single one of them in my home town, but here, 150km west, there seems to be a lot of them. I saw plenty of them last autumn on my nightly walks and I've been waiting for them to come out again. It's a small town, population around 15,000 and there are plenty of gardens and parks. Plenty of food for these little guys.

My favorite amphibian. The temperature outside is only 5 degrees Celsius and it was pretty slow moving, even for a toad.

Where's your home town, Stefan?
